Some Lively Scenes En- Route---
Points of Interest at the EXPOSE
ton.
The route to the Exposition, going from
the East side, is taking unto itself a
very gay appearance, and that famous
part Of the town known as the Island,
is rapidly rising out of that condition of
lnnocuouS desuetude to which it is gen.
orally accustomed. After one gets on the
main street of that strip of land sur
rounded by water, the first thing that
assaults the ear, is the crack of the
rifle in the gallery, where the rural
youth fingers and blows his money
against bulfS-eye he can never hit.
Further on, in voice that leads one to
Delleve hot potatOe is in his mouth
stands a man announcing the fact
that If you will enter his tent you will
lind out the secret-ladies and gentle
men-the secret of life"-and the city
boy smiles as he winks his eye, but the
sucker is caught like the little fly.
Further on is a man of enormous pro-
portions who, by way of change, dis
penseS the most minute looking packages
OF candy. to minute customers, in the
shape of wee maidenS and bad boys.
The invasion of fakirS has not stopped
at the bridge, but away up Bridge
street they have pitched their tents,
and suspicious lemonade in elon-
gated glasses can be purchased
on that hitherto Silly thor
oughfare from chirripy maidens.
That street is furthermore enlivened by
a tent show. outside of which stands
lugubriouS creature, with deep-in-the-
grave voice, loudly announcing that a
mans life depends on his entering the
great nickel show, where the elephant
and the crocodile are welded, and the
monkey asks the trained SOW what time
Of day it is. Then Matilda is heard to
ask her Joseph, to take her in, and for a
few moments the fiend'S voice is still
and the street is relieved, but when a
very disguised Matilda and Joseph
come forth, he again mounts his stand,
looking for other victims, and his chest
nuts echo up and Gown the way once
more. And thus it is the great wheels
roll around. and the little flies jump on
and yell what dust we kick up!'
IN THE BUILDING
yesterday there was large attendance,
but as it was no particular feature day,
the thrOng was not as noticeable as
other days, as far as numbers go; but
one thing about yesterdays gathering
they looked like country people more
than on any other day, and the appear
ances of the streets verify the fact that
there are large number of strangers in
town.
A second visit to that interesting
government exhibit, shows it is rich in
relics of the Indian and Eskimo races.
A number of cases are devoted to the
war weapons of these aborigneS, and
their helmets and general head-gear,
their shields and lances. All make an
interesting study. In other cases are
Pueblo Pueblo Indians ans hide Rideous u lo ok
ing wooden idols, ugly as can
be, but still attractive as quaint curioSi-
ties. In the cases devoted to mythology
and folklore are shown the odd mnnner
these people had of amusing them
selves, using funny toys and queer
scripS on which were written their lore.
The dance apparatus of these people,
their queer plaids and feathers they
stick in their hair, all are very interest
ing and instructive.
The photographs of the relics of Gen.
Grant attract good deal of attention,
and give very good idea of how beauti-
full the originals must be. These are
the photographs of the various articles
the general received On his voyage
around the world.
EXPOSITION NOTES.

in front Of the ''old bachelor in the glass
case, and the query seems to be all the time
whether tits alive or if it is what is it,

and he is an ideal bachelor. One old lady

case was first-rate for q bachelor and she
would put all the bachelors into them if she
had her say.
